Normally, I can't stand stuff like NTR, and Mind-break isn't my thing either, mainly due to how those tend to automatically be "Bad End" kinks, which just kills the mood for me. However with this one, it turned out to be shockingly pleasant, and even sweet, in using them!

Written by the same guy who did Taimanin Asagi and Kangoku Senkan, it feels like the writer wanted to use some of his familiar kinks, but actually have a happy ending to it.

Souma, our lucky protagonist has a childhood friend/next-door neighbor/big-sister figure in Kazama. As the two have grown up, she's become his teacher and he's developed ... feelings for her. But they've also grown somewhat distant, not communicating like they used to. So, Souma's decided to sneak her a love letter to confess his feelings.

Enter our first girl, Rin Kazama: professional, stern, and has a slight stick up her ass. (not unlike a number of other protagonist women the author's written). She brings up the love letter (not stating who it's from), and rips it up in front of the whole class to signify her answer.

He goes to express his frustrations to the nurse, Hazaki Mizushiro, who has her own feelings for Souma. From there, the plot follows a number of story beats and kinks that would be associated with Taimanin and/or Senkan, but they're creatively used with surprisingly wholesome results. Now, that doesn't mean it doesn't have some darker elements--force, coercion, getting caught and a bit mind-influencing. But none of the characters are evil, selfish, or cruel, in fact there's a surprising level of selflessness and empathy in these three characters. It's not a mean-spirited NTR or GTR hentai, it's more along the lines of these people breaking through the inhibitions of their school roles to truly connect with each other.

Again, its like the writer for Taimanin Asagi wanted to write a similar plot, but have a happy ending.

The animation and art is quite nice. It's clean, expressive, and fits the tone nicely. It's not as fluid, or 'visceral' as Taimanin, but the kinks aren't as extreme, either. No tentacles, or watersports, or anything like that. It feels like a slightly softer version of Taimanin Asagi. The protagonist himself has a visual softness, and I think his eyes are the biggest among the three. They also don't do as much of the cliche where his eyes are lost in shadows, or deliberately obscured just to help project yourself onto him.

Sound is good overall. Nothing was obtrusive. Voice acting seemed reasonable, and occasionally got more compelling (At least as far as the sub goes). The music, for what little there is, does a good job at conveying the relaxed atmosphere, with the underlying romance of the story.

Overall, this was a fun little hentai, that works well at blending the risky, raunchy aspects of Taimanin Asagi, with a wholesome story.

Niizuma Koyomi: The Animation is the kind of hentai that leaves me with an easy smile, after cumming. In the days, where a lot of hentai seems to revolve around dark subject matters: rape, NTR, abuse, blackmail, coercion, and the like... It's nice to bust a nut to something that's cute, likable, and doesn't make you feel guilty, even if you ARE into those darker elements. Well... Unless Harem is too much for you. Vanilla can still be sexy, when it's competent, like here.

Our protagonist, Nakamaru Soushirou, is an apprentice to a potter, and a lucky enough bastard to have 4 lovely ladies propose to ... him, all around the same time! Of course, he can't decide, just like that. We still need to see all of them take their turn with him, before that!

And something I find strangely refreshing, is that they agree to do, just that. They all agree to have him for a day, in order, and make sure he's in on it, in the first place. No one's going behind anyone's back, nobody's intercepting him, while he's to be with someone else, and no hearts are broken.

Our four fiancés are all nicely distinct from each other, covering a fair range of tropes, and proportions. Additionally, they also have their own unique relationships, ways they knew him, and even ways they refer to him. For the ease of reference here, though, I'll specify their hair color:

While they're not terribly unique as far as anime or hentai characters go, none of them come across as annoying, nor distractingly bland. Tamaki (pink), has hints of tsundere, but doesn't force us to go through the whole "baka!" shtick. She doesn't even use the word. Kuzunoha (green) is somewhat furry, being a kitsune girl. But that doesn't go much beyond ears, a tail, and some tailplay. Shino (black) has a little dynamic, referring to Nakamaru as "little brother," but that's clarified more as a friend-thing than incestual, since they were childhood friends, and all. Koyomi (brown) is the most basic, and yet one of the most aware, of this whole arrangement, and what it means.

Sound work is good all around. About par for hentai of this year. Voices work well for their characters, and effects emphasize sex in the right ways. Music wasn't too memorable, but gets the job done.

Animation & art are slightly above average, I'd say. Body types are of a nice spectrum, in terms of proportions, and endowments. Nothing's really exaggerated, but there's still plenty of energy in the sex, and it also conveys the different moods appropriately: cautious, kinky, intimate, motherly, etc. Faces are nicely animated, and expressive, not staying one way for too long, and the protagonist's eyes aren't shaded out very often.

If i can nitpick a bit, I'd say that tongues at times can look a little too... plump, I suppose? And one of the times the protagonist's eyes are shaded out, is when he's a little kid during a flashback. Also, some of the repeating cycles can look a little obvious... and occasionally silly. One other funny quirk was when a rectum was shown, it was uncensored, but the instant it's touched by a finger: instant mosaic.

I might seem to be harping, or praising on this episode, for what it's not, rather than what it is. But that's because what it is at it's core is vanilla. It doesn't do too much
new with it, but provides competent versions of the basic formula, varying in form, setting, and background. Think of it like several scoops of vanilla ice cream, each with their own toppings that go well together.

This is also my first review up here, so I might not be an outright expert on everything.

TL:DR-- 8/10 Good clean fun.
